Before welcoming a dog, it is important that we think about the breed to which we can offer the best conditions. A large dog in a small apartment will never be a good idea since, in general, they are dogs that need space and freedom to be happy.
In addition to size, it is important that you examine other issues before taking in a dog. For example, the amount of exercise he needs or if he is a strong barker. This last point matters a lot since a neighbor may complain about the barking.
Therefore, from our site we help you with the list of the least barking dogs.
basenji
The list is not ordered from less to more, but if we had to place a breed on the podium of the least barking dogs; it would be, without a doubt, the basenji.
This breed of African dog is known for precisely that, for not barking. It's not that they don't make a sound, it's just that their bark is very peculiar In fact, some people compare it to the sound of laughter. Of course, it has nothing to do with the conventional barking of any dog.
Of course, just because they don't bark doesn't mean they are calm. Basenjis are high energy dogs. Get some good shoes ready as you are going to have the privilege of enjoying very long walks of active exercise with your furry friend.
bloodhound
The bloodhound or dog of San Hubert is all parsimony. This breed of Belgian origin is all calm and tranquillity. These characteristics, together with a great tolerance, make him a great candidate to foster if you have children.
Newfoundland
The Newfoundland dog is a good example of a dog large, quiet and little barker In fact, it is one of the breeds known as " nanny dog" for how docile it is with children. If you live near the sea, I can assure you that you have a real "baywatch" by your side. Newfoundlands are known for their love of the water and the rescues they have staged. It is for this reason that they stand out among rescue dogs.
Did you know that there are other breeds considered as nanny dogs? Indeed, in the last century the pit bull terrier was the quintessential nanny dog.
Akita Inu

labrador retriever
In addition to being a very pleasant and affectionate dog, he also stands out for not barking excessively. What you should keep in mind when taking in a Labrador Retriever is that he is a playful and very active dog.
Start socialization from puppyhood, something basic for the happiness of any dog and to provide training, if not his enthusiastic character can lead him to be a little destructive
Australian pastor
The Australian Shepherd or Aussie is a whirlwind of activity. In fact, we could say that its main characteristics are enthusiasm, vitality and energy. On the other hand, he is not a dog that barks a lot.
I am once again reminding you of the importance of educating your pet from the start. An untrained Australian Shepherd is a whirlwind out of control. If you are not going to be able to offer your Australian Shepherd great physical activity, it is better to ask about another breed that is more in line with your lifestyle.

The pug is one of the few cases of small dogs that we have on the list. Also known for having been the pet of historical figures such as Marie Antoinette or Josephine Bonaparte, his character is very nice and quiet. The pug is a calm and affectionate dog that will undoubtedly make you fall in love.
bulldog
It doesn't matter if it's a French bulldog or an English, in both cases we are dealing with a silent breed. Bulldogs are generally dogs that do not need much exercise and live in a placid state of calm. They're perfect for people who don't have time to exercise but want an affectionate dog by their side.
Large dogs=quiet dogs?
You may have noticed that with two exceptions, all the dogs on the list are large- does that mean that small dogs bark more? No, but unfortunately, many small dog owners do not see the importance of educating their pets. Their reasoning is that since they are small and cannot harm anyone, they do not need to be educated.
This is a big mistake since a dog needs a dose of training to be happy Precisely, one of the causes that can motivate barking is poor socialization. In any case, if your dog already barks excessively, I recommend that you read our article on tips to prevent your pet from barking.
